Social work plays a crucial role in supporting cybercrime victims by providing counseling, advocacy, and rehabilitation services. Social workers assist victims in coping with trauma, rebuilding their confidence, and accessing legal and financial aid. They also collaborate with law enforcement, cybersecurity experts, and policymakers to enhance victim protection and awareness. Additionally, preventive measures such as digital literacy programs and mental health interventions are essential in reducing cybercrime-related distress. The integration of social work in cybercrime victim support ensures a holistic approach to recovery and empowerment. Keywords:Cybercrime, Social Work, Victim Support, Counseling, Advocacy.
